Author Topic: Fan Finance for 3D Sculpted Miniatures by Stinger & Dak (Read 41097 times)

speck · « **on:** 29 January 2017, 21:39:31 »

First off let me apologize for taking an extra month to get this posted, I originally wanted to have this up before the end of 2016, but things did not go according to plan. So onto the reason we have this thread. Both Stinger and Dak have 3D sculpted several miniatures that would fall into the Web Only Category for Iron Wind Metals. IWM normally selects a few design for the Web Only (does not seem that way at times with how they get released), but we wanted to give every one a options to help get some or all of these fine designs that Stinger and Dak have created into miniature form. This is also a stop gap to help the Fan Finance keep moving on until I can get everything worked out for the next official Fan Finance round.

So for the design on the list below, Mechs are still $800 (smaller Militia Mechs might be different) and Vehicles $500, the funds will go towards the CAD work to the sculptor, 3D Printing the Masters and some towards molds. The reason some is going towards the printing and mold costs is to help pay some of the initial start up cost need to get the design into production. The Centurion D will have a different cost that I need to find out since it will be new variant parts, not a entire new mini.

Fan Finance Guidelines will still be used, but since we have a list of designs to choose from post your top three. After a week or two depending on number of posts I will total it up and see what we have and go from there. This is a bit new and I want to see the response.

First, thanks for giving us folks here the opportunity for input. However, I've got a question before I pick my top three: the images you posted, are those models pretty much final, or are they just mock ups? I'm wondering how much things are likely to change from what we see in the renders. Thanks!

Both Dak and Stinger have worked on the designs, but they have not gone through IWM QCC forum for any adjustments that might be need.

Quickdraw 8P - but please, please modify the left arm pose to be supporting the right hand weapon. Rules require a hand-held pod to be held by both hands before it can be fires.
Buster Miltiiamech
Hellspawn

sadlerbw · « **Reply #6 on:** 29 January 2017, 22:40:40 »

In that case...

1. Centurion Omni D
2. Primitive Wolverine
3. Hellspawn resculpt

Also, what book is the Bellerophon in?

Baron RedSkull · « **Reply #7 on:** 29 January 2017, 22:45:47 »

In order:
Padilla
Balac
Von Rhors

I'd also gladly put money towards the Hellspawn, Volkh, and the Buster Militia Mech.

Definitely want to see:

no third choice. Wouldn't use or play any of the others.

Both artists are great and thank you for administering this program, Speck!

Wolverine looks great, but we have a glut of great-looking Wolverine sculpts currently available.

IronSphinx · « **Reply #12 on:** 30 January 2017, 00:25:53 »

Porcupine, Volkh, and Aquagladius. In that order.

J-37 Ordanace Transport
Bellerophon
Catapult C2

What we really need for artillery is a 3025 tech sniper unit or I would vote for the Padilla,
The J-37 would be nice as we don't have many cargo vehicles for convoy scenarios unless you want to kitbash something
While not the greatest primitive, I do love the look of the Bellerophon O0

Hello everybody, really loving the enthusiasm you guys are pouring out!

A minor re-introduction: I'm Dak, I've been here pretty much the whole time, I'm a founding CamoSpecs painter, I've done numerous GenCon dioramas, and I work on lots of various art projects with Catalyst (notably Touring the Stars, some Combat Manuals work, and the recent holiday offerings). A little less than a year ago, I decided to 'take a crack at' some 3D modeling (using Trimble's free Sketchup program). Since then I guess it sort of got away from me. :D You can see where we're at today!

The images Speck posted are renders of the actual 3D files we've made. In most cases the models aren't so finalized that they can't be adjusted. As Speck also mentioned, they will go through the usual QCC measures as they approach production, and I'm willing to entertain suggestions from this forum and certainly any of the funding individuals.

Buster Militiamech (Are we getting weapon options?)

I wouldn't rule that out. It should be pretty easy to make the current weapons swap out for some different ones. (Note this mini's art will probably need approval from Catalyst to become official.)

That's going to be quite a tall order. That left arm is REALLY stubby and the flexible joints are really inhibitive. It has the 'extended actuators' quirk but it might get pretty silly looking...like Mr. Fantastic stretchy arms lol. I'll try!

Quote from: sadlerbw on 29 January 2017, 22:40:40

Also, what book is the Bellerophon in?

Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 3

And just one more comment, the Padilla has 3 separate barrels sculpted. The original 3145 PDF TRO, the art/Dark Age version, and the stats version in the print TRO 3145.

Thanks everybody!
Dak

We can ask for no more, and I thank you for considering it! After all, it's a classic example of fan-nerd obsessing over a detail that really doesn't matter :)
